Social Responsibility

SaM Solutions strives to meet the highest standards not only in dealing with customers, but also in creating the best work environment for our employees. We do this by fostering the creation of interest-based groups within the company, encouraging athletic activities and promoting a healthy lifestyle, creating opportunities to improve language skills and organizing large corporate events aimed at making the entire team of SaM Solutions a stronger, more motivated, and active group of talented IT professionals.

FORCED LABOR

Our employment policies fully adhere to the national legislation of corresponding countries where SaM Solutions’ offices are located. These policies outlaw the use of forced, bonded, or prison labor in any form and imply pre-employment verification of each candidate’s biographical and personal details. Our employment model is thoroughly based on free-will contracts.

CHILD LABOR

Child labor is strongly prohibited by all internal policies and the legislation of all countries where SaM Solutions has a presence. Prior to signing a contract with a future employee, the company conducts a thorough check of the person’s biography and background, and requests a valid ID, certificates, diplomas and other official documents, confirming the age of the person to be employed.

WAGES AND BENEFITS

Our compensation policy strictly adheres to applicable national legislation. All explicitly declared benefits, like annual paid leave, sick leave, maternity leave, pension insurance and social security are provided in full. All overtime hours are paid at a higher rate than regular work hours. Employees are informed of their pay via an internal electronic notification system.

WORKING HOURS

Our standard working hours are in full compliance with the national standards set forth in the national Labor Code. Individual schedules may be shifted, but never exceed the standard hours. All authorized overtime activities are paid for at a higher rate.

NONDISCRIMINATION

The company has a zero-tolerance policy towards any forms of discrimination. Our hiring policy is that we do not discriminate based on the grounds of age, race, gender, religion, sexual identification or orientation, social or ethnic background, or disabilities.

RESPECT & DIGNITY

SaM Solutions does not tolerate harassment of any type, verbal and non-verbal abuse, bodily harm and other actions that may be qualified by employees as harassing.

FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION

The company imposes no restrictions of voluntary association of its employees based on common interests, athletic activities or any other grounds that comply with the company’s internal policies and national legislation. We consider the formation of such groups an essential element of building stronger teams and creating social bonds within the company.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

SaM Solutions strongly encourages its employees to embrace healthier lifestyles and engage in all productivity-improving activities. Our employees have free access to the company’s own gym and low-cost massage services. All our employees are provided with a safe and healthy workplace.

PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

SaM Solutions invests much time and effort into minimizing the environmental effect produced by the company’s operation. This is achieved through minimizing the amount of non-recyclable waste, lowering power consumption by using energy-saving light bulbs, switching to paperless document exchange when and where possible, using energy-efficient hardware, using teleconferences instead of travel to remote locations and other initiatives aimed at minimizing environmental damage.
